Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Standard Bearer
This is the story of the one man whose weak and uncertain hand held aloft the Banner of Blue that I have striven to tell - his failures mostly, his loves and hates, his few bright days and his many dark nights. Yet withal I have found green vales of rest between wherein the swallow swept and the cuckoo called to her mate the cry of love and spring.
